Who are we?

We raise a small number of miniature and micro-miniature donkeys in a calm environment where nature is ever-present: hills, meadows, quiet paths, and the silence of an authentic village. Here, each donkey receives daily, gentle, and caring attention so it can grow in balance and trust. Our mission is to preserve this harmony and share it with those who wish to discover or adopt one of our companions.

Our mission
Our philosophy

We believe that a happy animal is one that is understood, respected, and gently cared for. Our philosophy is based on patience, closeness, and simplicity. Our miniature donkeys live freely in vast natural spaces, surrounded by a constant and attentive human presence. This relationship creates sociable, affectionate, and deeply endearing animals, accustomed both to cuddles and to moments of calm.

Our commitment

We are committed to responsible, transparent, and sincere breeding. Each adoption is supported, explained, and tailored to each individual situation. We prioritize committed families, ready to offer a stable environment, time, and above all a genuine connection with their future companions. For us, adoption is not a commercial act: it is a long-term bond of trust.

Our values

Authenticity, respect, nature, and simplicity. We value warm human relationships, closeness to animals, and the slow rhythm of village life. Our values are reflected in every daily gesture: a gentle approach, deep listening, and a genuine individual understanding of each of our donkeys. This way of living and raising animals makes finca del cabezo unique and deeply human.

In the heart of a peaceful village in Extremadura, Finca del Cabezo is a small family-run breeding farm dedicated to miniature and micro-miniature donkeys.
Our mission is simple: to provide each animal with a healthy, natural, and deeply respectful environment.

My story

My name is Sandrine.

Animals have always played an essential role in my life. An equestrian since childhood, horses taught me respect for living beings, attentiveness, and patience.

A few years ago, one encounter changed everything: the miniature donkey.

Far more than a discovery, it was a true revelation. I was deeply moved by its sensitivity, intelligence, gentleness, and unique ability to create bonds. An animal still too little known, often misunderstood, and yet extraordinary.

This encounter led me to a natural career change: to introduce the miniature donkey and provide it with a living environment that respects its needs.

I chose to settle in Spain, where the dry climate and preserved nature are perfectly suited to this breed originating from Sardinia, which requires an adapted diet and environment.

Today, I am developing an ethical breeding of miniature donkeys, guided by animal welfare, knowledge sharing, and passion.
My goal is simple: to highlight this exceptional animal and create genuine bonds between humans and the living world.

Finca del Cabezo is located in Mesas de Ibor, a small village surrounded by nature in the province of Cáceres. It is a peaceful, unspoiled place where hills, fields, and trails provide an ideal environment for our miniature donkeys. Here, the calmness of the landscape is reflected in their behaviour: calm, confident, and happy.

An incredible experience, the donkeys are magnificent and the setting is peaceful and natural.
